The Exeter Foundation is launching its first Devon Sporting Legacy Project Grant to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Devon Sports Awards.
The Foundation, which is the official charity of the Exeter Chiefs, is making £20,000 available to match fund an existing organisation’s project fund to assist them with the achievement and completion of their sporting legacy project.
The funds will be available for a Devon-based project, which will help enhance the local area and community.
Chairman of the Exeter Foundation, Tony Rowe OBE, said: “We have generated this...
London’s Calling for Exeter Chiefs as they booked a third successive final appearance in the Anglo-Welsh Cup with victory over Harlequins at Sandy Park.
In a dominant display from start to finish, Devon’s finest advanced to the capital in style, setting up a final showdown against Leicester Tigers courtesy of tries through Lachie Turner, Max Bodilly Julian Salvi and Sam Simmonds, whose younger brother Joe completed the scoring with two conversions.
Harlequins mustered a late consolation score through Calum Waters late on, but that was a rare bright spot on a day when the...
Ricky Pellow insists he and his Exeter Chiefs side are ‘ready for battle’ ahead of Sunday’s Anglo-Welsh Cup semi-final against Harlequins at Sandy Park (3pm).
Looking to reach a third successive final, Devon’s finest must first overcome their capital-based rivals, who themselves have the added incentive of knowing a victory this weekend would ensure they run out in the first showpiece final of the season on home soil a week later.
The Chiefs know from past experience how much of a carrot playing a final at your own home stadium can be - they won this very competition at...
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter hopes Don Armand (pictured) will see out the rest of his career at Sandy Park.
The influential back-row forward, together with lock Jonny Hill, have both been handed new two-year contracts by the Premiership club that will extend their stay in Devon until at least the summer of 2019.
Baxter has spoken in recent weeks about his desire to tie down the long-term futures of a number of players within his first-team squad - and this latest news will be warmly welcomed not only by those in power at Sandy Park, but also by the wider Chiefs...
Exeter lock Geoff Parling described Friday night’s 34-15 win over former club Leicester Tigers as one of the biggest of his career as the Chiefs maintained their push for the Aviva Premiership play-offs.
Parling delivered a man of the match display on his own stomping ground, helping the Devon club to not only all five points on the night, but also helping them secure a crucial league double over the Tigers.
With just five rounds of the scheduled season remaining, the 33-year-old believes there is no reason he and his team-mates can’t maintain their impressive form and...

Kai Horstmann (pictured), Stu Townsend and Mitch Lees all crossed the line, while a penalty try was also converted by England international Henry Slade, who finished...

Rob Baxter’s side maintained their pursuit of table-topping Wasps by taming the Tigers in their own lair, recording a maximum haul of points courtesy of a penalty try and further touchdowns from Kai Horstmann Stuart Townsend and Mitch Lees.

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter says his side will need to turn up the intensity levels ahead of this evening's Aviva Premiership encounter with Leicester Tigers at Welford Road (7:45pm).
Although undefeated in the top flight since Bath won at Sandy Park at the end of October, the Chiefs have spent this week gearing up for arguably one of the toughest tests on the Premiership calendar.
Having one just once at the home of the Tigers since their elevation into English rugby’s top tier in 2010, Baxter and his in-form team will be looking to improve their win ratio with a...
Rob Baxter has spoken of his delight after three more of his current Exeter Chiefs squad today agreed new contracts with the Aviva Premiership club.
Experienced back-row forwards Kai Horstmann and Julian Salvi (pictured) have each signed new one-year deals, while lock Ollie Atkins has extended his stay at Sandy Park by a further two years.
News of the trio agreeing terms comes hot on the heels of head coach Baxter last week confirming similar outcomes for front-row trio Ben Moon, Shaun Malton and Carl Rimmer, as well as backs Michele Campagnaro, Phil Dollman and Olly...
Thomas Waldrom insists it’s ‘full steam ahead’ for him and his Exeter Chiefs team-mates as they look to book their place in this season’s Aviva Premiership play-offs.
Having helped Rob Baxter’s side move into second spot with victory over Newcastle Falcons last weekend, Exeter’s free-scoring No.8 will check into familiar surroundings again this Friday night when Devon’s finest prepare to tackle fellow high-flyers Leicester Tigers at Welford Road.
With just six rounds of the scheduled season remaining, Waldrom – who spent four years with the Midlanders before moving to the...
